Welcome to DISI (Disi Is Still Incomplete, "dizzy"), the wiki of the Shoichet Lab and Irwin Lab at UCSF. This wiki aims to document our software tools, databases, protocols and resources related to computational ligand discovery, molecular docking and systems pharmacology as hosted at the domain "docking.org". This wiki serves several constituencies. Many pages are designed for specific audiences and may not make much sense to a reader who is not the target demographic.
If you are a new member of a lab, please follow the following guide.

wiki.docking.org documents the efforts in the Shoichet and Irwin labs at UCSF to provide tools and databases for ligand (drug) discovery to investigators worldwide, both in academia and in companies. We work in five major technology areas:
- 1) Molecular docking screens take a library of compounds that are easy to acquire for experimental testing. Investigators who use molecular docking often find completely novel molecules that modulate biology (see [ https://bkslab.org/publications]). DOCK
- 2) Analog-by-catalog works on the molecular similarity principle. Once a compound is found to modulate a protein target, a logical and efficient next step is to test close analogs for higher (or lower) activity. By exploring the chemical space around an active, compounds can be "optimized" for both activity as well as other molecular properties. Smallworld and Arthor.
- 3) Target prediction. Given a molecule, our program SEA can predict possible molecular targets based on its resemblance of known actives. In this way, the activity of a compound with an unknown molecular explanation (e.g. phenotypic hits) can be attributed to a particular molecular target ("mechanism of action").
- 4) Bespoke Chemistry. The Chemistry Commons is a platform to help chemists and biologist to collaborate. This system allows chemists to define which molecules their new chemistry can access, and it allows biologists to search through this novel bespoke chemistry.
- 5) Chemical Libraries. ZINC is available for download in 2D and 3D.
We hope you find this website interesting and useful. If you have any questions, please write to chemistry 4 biology at gmail dot com, or use one of the many other communication channels we support.
